A.F.A.I.K. There are now 2 airworthy examples left. I love these aircraft.

And that has been the situation for almost the past 40 years.

Get a bit spoilt up here, thats twice i've seen it now, saw it a few weeks ago heading south over the moors after it had been to the sunderland air show.

Less than that really, from 1973 to about 1988 there was only one. From the late sixties to 73 there weren't any.

In a few years time there might just be a third, so I prefer to think of it as 2 examples currently airworthy rather than only 2 left airworthy.

I thought the Canadian example had been flying a bit longer than that.

All things being equal, that should be 3 sometime "soon".
